A sturdy, high-contrast serif with prominent bracketed serifs and a slightly compact, upright stance. Strokes show a clear thick–thin modulation with relatively crisp, tapered terminals and firm verticals, producing strong typographic color. The capitals are broad and commanding, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with rounded bowls and tight internal counters that read dense and deliberate. Numerals follow the same classical construction, with clear weight distribution and serifed shaping that aligns well with the text rhythm.
Well suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, essays, and long-form reading where a traditional serif voice is desired. The strong contrast and assertive capitals also make it effective for headings, pull quotes, and display lines in magazines or newspaper-style layouts, especially when a classic, authoritative tone is needed.
The overall tone is traditional and formal, with an editorial, bookish character that suggests authority and seriousness. Its sharp serifs and emphatic contrast lend a slightly dramatic, headline-ready presence while still feeling rooted in conventional text typography.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, trustworthy serif for editorial and literary settings, combining classical proportions with enough contrast and weight to hold its own in headlines. It prioritizes a firm texture and clear typographic voice over softness or minimalism.
In text, the face maintains a steady rhythm and strong word shapes, with pronounced joins and crisp detailing that become especially noticeable at larger sizes. The italic is not shown; the sample emphasizes upright roman behavior and a consistent, classic serif voice.
